Chevrolet has confirmed that the 2017 Camaro ZL1 will feature an updated 6.2 litre LT4 V8 engine. Thanks to a supercharger and special intake and exhaust systems, it produces an estimated 640 bhp (477 kW / 648 PS) with 868 Nm (640 lb/ft) of peak torque.
That output gets delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox with active rev matching. Alternatively, an all-new ten-speed quick-shift automatic transmission is going to be optionally available.

Official figures haven't been revealed yet, so for now assessing this ZL1's pace is impossible. Nevertheless, Chevrolet is making some very bold claims.

According to Mark Reuss, executive vice president of Global Product Development, “It's a 2+2 coupé offering incredible performance – acceleration, handling and braking – with the highest levels of technology and perfect chassis damping, making it suitable for everyday driving. It will compare well to any sports coupé, at any price and in any setting.”
